Yes, I understand the need for a good diff! I have a feeling that your combo of larger (heavier) wheel/tire and higher (numerically) diff ratio put more strain on the pinion gear than my smaller (lighter) wheel/tire and lower (numerically) diff ratio. Your truggy pinion has fewer teeth than my buggy pinion (10 to 13) and that can cause mesh problems as well (not sure if it is?). Plus I will run on road which should offer less traction as my tires have much less contact patch than a mt tire.
The ceramic bearings are most likely a good idea, as they are built better and should last longer.
